Conclusion
|
Well,
after surfing the web for pictures, you should have gained a better
understanding of the online picture resources and how to use them in your
documents. Here are a few things to
remember:
- There are many
sites that have pictures that you would like to use. However, if they are not
copyright-free then you are not supposed to use them. Help your students with this as well!
- Understanding file
management is key. Saving the file isn’t nearly as
difficult as finding it two minutes later.
- Animated images can
also be saved exactly the same way as still images, but remember, animation can only be viewed in a web browser. So, the animation may not show up
while you are editing your web page, but will show up when you preview
it.
- Practice, practice,
practice! The more you practice
this, the better you will become!
